I’m Aihoa! I created Food with Aihoa to share my food experiments and favorite recipes.
This quick and easy lemon parmesan asparagus pasta is so simple and fresh that you’ll be making it over and over again! It's the perfect amount of delicious lemony goodness (just the way Chris and I like our lemon dishes!) and can be served as a light and healthy main dish or side dish.
I love the combination of spicy red Thai curry paste and coconut milk. The curry paste and coconut milk are essential to this red curry chicken noodle bowl, so don’t skimp on them! I normally use red curry paste to make these egg noodles in chicken curry sauce (Chris's favorite) but had some left over that needed to be used up so I decided to experiment with this noodle bowl. Much to my delight, this turned out to be an excellent recipe that I'll keep handy for times when I need a quick fix of chicken and noodles, but with a kick. I used bell peppers, carrots, bean sprouts, and scallions, but feel free to use whatever veggies you have available.
Not all chicken recipes are fast. Whether you serve them with a salad, sandwich or plate of pasta, these crispy chicken cutlets coated in breadcrumbs and pan-friend to golden perfection make an almost instant dinner. They're crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Just keep in mind that unless the chicken breasts are quite small, slice them crosswise to make cutlets. A large chicken breast may be enough for 2 to 3 servings.
Tender cubes of potatoes and onion are tossed with kielbasa and baked until golden and crispy in this savory kielbasa, potato, and arugula salad. This versatile recipe works as a quick snack or an easy weeknight dinner.
Salmon doesn't get any easier than this. Seasoned with lemon juice, dill and garlic, this juicy, tender, baked lemon dill salmon is bursting with tangy, fresh flavor and is a great recipe for spring and summer.
Perfectly hard boiled eggs are hard to beat. (Pun intended!) They’re incredibly versatile - great for a small and healthy breakfast or snack, and can be used as a base for various appetizers. Keep reading to find out how to quickly make perfect hard boiled eggs every time!
Slow cooker pineapple chicken is easy to make, healthier than take out, and perfect for a light summer meal. The chicken in this recipe cooks all day in a delectable pineapple sauce, soaking up the sweet, tangy, and savory flavors for a minimal effort, mess-free meal! I use chicken thighs in my recipe to keep things nice and juicy but feel free to use any cut of chicken you'd prefer.
If you know me, you know that I'm a sucker for cilantro and lime. The classic duo is aromatic and bursting with fresh summery flavors - I just can't get enough of it. The tangy cilantro, olive oil, and lime marinade in this cilantro lime chicken recipe delivers BIG flavor to regular chicken breasts and makes for a perfectly healthy and light meal!
If there's one dish that Chris and I love to make together, it's this Udon and Steak Noodle Bowl. The inspiration for this dish came when Chris described a dish that he had when he was younger. Based on what he could remember about the ingredients and flavors, we set out to re-create the dish. This meal hits all the bold flavors you could crave in a weeknight meal and has since become a part of our meal rotation. A bed of udon noodles drizzled in sweet and tangy sauce cradles fresh arugula and crisp bean sprouts, while tender, perfectly seasoned, juicy steak tops it off.
There's nothing that quite hits the spot in the mornings like an omelette. This ham, cheese, and arugula omelette is full of protein from the eggs and ham and is so quick and easy, so you don’t have to wait a long time for your breakfast! Since omelettes are so versatile, you could use any veggie you'd like and even swap out the meat with tofu.
This isn't your ordinary mac and cheese. It's still the unapologetically cheesy, carby deliciousness that you know and love, but combined with the hearty spiciness of chili. If you like chili, and you like mac and cheese, you'll go crazy for this chili mac and cheese.
These crazy good spicy dry rub grilled drumsticks will set your mouth on fire. Densely packed with flavor, heat, and spice, these drumsticks will make some of the spiciest foods around seem mild in comparison. No sauce is needed to make these drumsticks. Brown sugar complements the epic amounts of cayenne pepper used for these juicy drumsticks to create the perfect blend of spicy and sweet. If you love spicy foods, consider yourself warned, but you've got to try these super spicy, finger-lickin' good drumsticks!
